This is the first in a series of webinars addressing online service delivery of school-based speech-language therapy services. In this session we will review the evidence base for delivery of speech-language therapy services through an on-line learning environment for school-age students. In addition, we will consider how to harness telepractice for use as one among a continuum of service delivery models for school districts. Ample time will be provided for audience questions.

Today, an array of distance technology is available to assist early interventionists, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists to enhance listening, communication development, and learning in children with hearing loss. Professionals are utilizing technology to enhance and expand service delivery via models of telepractice. This presentation will discuss innovative uses of distance technology to increase family and child engagement, compliance, and improved learning and communication outcomes.
Learner Outcomes:
1. Identify current distance technology that is impacting early intervention and the education of children with hearing loss;
2. Discuss the role of parent coaching in telepractice; and
3. Define the use of telepractice as a service delivery model for children with hearing loss and their families.
